Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The Common Krait, among the ‘big four’ poisonous snakes, has actually been rescued from the Beed bypass location.
The reptile, which is not frequently discovered in this area, was found by among the residents near a home on Monday night.
Rescue specialist Manoj Gaikwad said the snake was strolling in the location looking for victim in the middle of the drizzle.
“Like many other snakes, the common krait is largely nocturnal in nature. It is known as a silent killer due to it’s non-aggressive yet lethal behaviour,” he said, including that the rescued snake will be launched into its natural environment after keeping it under observation for a short duration.
The snake brings neurotoxic venom that impacts the peripheral anxious system.
The bite of a typical krait snake can result in the death of the victim, in the lack of appropriate medical attention.
“Snakes, including venomous ones, do not attack humans without provocation. Upon confrontation, their first reaction is to run away from the spot. Hence, all should protect snakes and call rescue experts when a snake is spotted,” honorary wildlife warden for the district, Kishor Pathak said.
All snakes consisting of non-venomous snakes are safeguarded under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act, of 1972 and eliminating or hunting them can bring in legal action.
